What's wrong with a draft and stash player like Claver? This is just a signal to me that the Blazers a done getting younger and are going to be aggressive in trading for veterans and in aggressive in free agency.

Yep. No need for a meltdown.

We desperately need a backup PF who can rebound...

Dejuan Blair is the best offensive rebounder to come into the draft in the past decade...

And you pick Claver over Blair!?

Fucking shit.

You're absolutely right, but you completely failed to account for trades and free agency.
 
how does this help free agency, Claver will still have a cap hold, won't he?
 
This pick was required by the Principle of Conservation of Spaniards.

Uhhhhh, do you honestly think you know more about what is going on than Pritchard? Seriously?
 
Re: FUCK YOU PRITCHARD!

what are you 2? have you heard of free agency and trade?
 
Re: FUCK YOU PRITCHARD!

Fez wanted to trade Aldridge for Horford.

Don't mind him.
 
This is like Rudy all over again. It worked out last time. Let it bake.

Yeah like 400-500K at the 22nd spot, hardly anything to get worked up over. Don't be shocked if Freeland or Kopo's rights get waived before Claver's if we make a move for a free agent, or they can be thrown in as a smidgen of sweetener in a trade.

In the words of Jules, "everybody be cool like Fonzi"

i absolutely guarantee you that blair isn't a better offensive rebounder than oden.
 
Re: FUCK YOU PRITCHARD!

This pick tells me we won't be trying to get a top end FA. All this does is eat up cap space. I really hope there is something else happening.
 
Chad Ford's Analysis: We had the Blazers pegged to take Claver with the 31st pick. I knew they really liked DeJuan Blair but they must have been scared off by his bad knees. Claver will stay overseas for maybe three years. but he's got great potential. He's athletic, skilled and one of the best up-and-coming talents in Spain. But I wonder if Portland will regret passing on Blair.

Seems pretty spot-on to me.

What on earth does Portland do at #'s 31 and 33? Brockman and ... ? :|

tired of freaking stashing euros, we could have had this kid @31..pretty lackluster move by KP..Blair should've been the pick, knees or not..wow,there goes my draft day..im sure claver will be decent, but we waaaayyyy reached on it...
 
Re: FUCK YOU PRITCHARD!

This is funny because I was about to post a thread called, "Touche KP, touche...". Well, people who said he'd do what no one expected were right.
 
Re: FUCK YOU PRITCHARD!

The guy/gal that gives us all a bad name. Embarrassing. Ask yourself when the last time was that KP drafted or acquired a player that was not the physical prototype of his position? A 6'7 PF is not an option. Think.
